NAME

       pcap_set_timeout - set the read timeout for a not-yet-activated capture handle

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcap/pcap.h>

       int pcap_set_timeout(pcap_t *p, int to_ms);

DESCRIPTION

       pcap_set_timeout()  sets  the  read timeout that will be used on a capture handle when the
       handle is activated to to_ms, which is in units of milliseconds.

       The behavior, if the timeout isn't specified, is undefined.  We recommend  always  setting
       the  timeout  to  a non-zero value unless immediate mode is set, in which case the timeout
       has no effect.

RETURN VALUE

       pcap_set_timeout() returns 0 on success or PCAP_ERROR_ACTIVATED if  called  on  a  capture
       handle that has been activated.
